WELCOME FROM THE PRESIDENT Greetings and welcome to Tabor College, where students grow into tomorrow’s leaders. A Tabor education is decidedly Christian, life-transforming, globally relevant and academically excellent. It will prepare you for the future, open doors for you to serve and help you better the world.

In the next few pages, you will see how our students get involved in the academic rigor of the classroom, participate in championship athletics, create through the arts, and engage in activities that shape their character for the workplace and life.

I hope you enjoy learning more about Tabor. We look forward to seeing you on campus to personally show you what it means to be a Tabor College Bluejay!

Blessings,

Jules Glanzer President, Tabor College @presglanzer
